I have been fumbling around my stash, trying to find a project I could really fall in love with--you know that "I can't wait to knit all day feelin'" I am here to say, "I did not find it in my stash; I found it at Threadbear Fiber Arts." The yarn is Haiku, a mohair and silk blend, and Silk Purse from Alchemy Yarns , and yes it is as soft as soft can be. The Pattern is The Naturalist, I think quite fitting given the last post where I had a photo of a frog sitting on my toes.

My mother sewed me this great new knitting bag. How did she know I was going to buy a new project to put in it? Well, I guess mother's know things like that. See Shoulie on the bag? So cute. Shoulie "helps" me with my knitting and blogging.



What an adorable bag, Brenda. Thanks for bringing your mother by to meet us--she's so nice (apple doesn't fall far from the tree!).
Glad we could enable you, and your swatch is GORGEOUS! If you'd like us to have the folks make custom buttons for you, bring the swatch by and we'll send it in with the other one I showed you when you were in. Surprisingly, the buttons are affordable!

Cutie bag! I think your color choice for that sweater is perfection. It will look better than the sample, I'm not a huge fan of those yellows and greens anyways, so maybe I'm biased for pinks.
